“Taiwan is a multi-cultural island. There are 14 major aboriginal tribes in Taiwan, each with distinctive ways of life and traditions, including rituals, ceremonies, song and dance, and sports through which they express respect to the spirits.

Everyone is warmly welcomed to join in the festivities.”
